Doesn't this prove my point to a certain degree? That even as a term with meaning, the meaning of "partner" differs somewhat between iterations?

Well, the way you're saying it, "traditional Partners", seems like saying the definition of the first five series is the "correct" definition. But, if I'm not mistaken (and I could be considering it has been a long time since I've read that), the word "Partner" was first used in the manga, so the meaning used there would be the "trad

You obviously didn't understand my question. I should have formulated it differently. What if they have enough budget to license all these musics without suffering? How it would be an un-smart move in that scenario?
I know that Brazilian dubs, and probably any dub in Latin America, use the music from the version of the series they are dubbing. Actually, I think America, Canada, and maybe England, are the only Western countries to replace music in dubbing. If we can do it, then how come the richer countries don't have enough budget to license the original soundtrack without almost exhausting the budget!? I think the English licensors have enough budget for this, but for some reason they don't do it. That's what I mean, how come it would be an un-smart decision to license the music in that scenario?

No, that's not the way I'm saying it at all.

My point was simply that saying "partner" in official materials is a lot faster than saying "one specific Digimon that a select protagonist mostly hangs out with", even if the exact meaning of "partner" changes from iteration to iteration.

Because then you've spent a significant portion of your budget on the licensing of music that the majority of your eventual viewing audience doesn't give two shats about, money that could have gone towards things like other voice actors, digital work, production, promotion and otherwise.

Well guys, it looks like we got our new Royal Knight, not too much on him just yet but here's Gankuumon:

The information is a bit fuzzy right now (and I'll be sure to update once it clears up) but here's what I'm getting:
-The new Digimon in the corner is Hackmon and is related to him (maybe a preevolution), the aura in the back also resembles him.
-He's probably related to the 15th anniversary and may appear in Digimon Collectors.
-He has something to do with the "Dragon-Species World."

My shinies are not for trade or cloning.
Shinies are not listed in order, for example the last shiny on the banner is not always the latest shiny I've obtained.
Banner 1 made by Light Venusaur, thanks ^_^

Appears between dimensions, eh? Shame they couldn't use this new Digimon, Gankuumon, as the reason the 5 previous protagonists arrived in Digimon Xros Wars: Hunters saga. Man, them and their silly limitations.

Hackmon. All right. Much later than we wished for, but oh well.

"Real life is heartbreak, despair, kid. Sometimes you get to the end of the rainbow, the leprechauns went and booby-trapped it."

@Griff He also kind of reminds me of bancholeomon due to that cape. Makes for a kind of interesting parallel really considering that all three evolve from beast type digimon and are a part of three different major groups.
